AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas closed out spring ball with its Orange-White spring game on Saturday afternoon. Here's what we learned from it:
1. Shane Buechele is a baller: That’s the term Charlie Strong used on Saturday, after his true freshman quarterback threw for 299 yards and two touchdowns in his spring game debut. Strong has been hearing it from his Longhorns lately. “The players respect him,” the coach said. “Players know players. ‘My man’s a baller’ – that’s what a lot of them say.” Buechele had that same effect on Texas fans, who are now all-in on the newcomer being the program’s next great passer.
